Buying a New Optical Projector
There are many factors to consider when selecting your new optical projectors, such as type, size, software, accessories and training.
Choose the right system. Vertical, horizontal, bench-mounted or floor-standing?
Horizontal projectors tend to be the universal type of machine. In contrast, vertical comparators are used when flat or flexible parts need to be measured, such as gaskets, o-rings and flat sheet metal parts.
Comparators are also either bench-mounted or free-standing, and some larger systems have black-out curtains and hoods fitted to reduce ambient light.
Software? Metlogix M2 software and others.
It’s important to keep updated with the latest software for optical comparators to ensure the full capabilities of the system are maintained as technology changes.
For example, as Operating Systems change and are constantly being updated, it’s essential to ensure that the measurement software being used is also updated.
Accessories. Overlays, fixtures and calibration artefacts.
Having the right accessories for your profile projector is essential, so that accurate and repeatable results can be obtained. Choose from accessories such as:
- Precision Centers and Vees
- Rotary Vee Blocks
- Rotary Vises Cabinet Stands
- Vertical Glass Plate Holders
- Magnification Check Graticules
- Fixed Vises
Training. Choose from in-house or remote delivery.
While the software installed on the optical comparators supplied by Met Optix is predominately very easy to use Metlogix M2 software package, it is still important to reinforce the skills and competencies of operators to achieve maximum productivity in any system.
